Virus & Adware - Help!

About two weeks ago I spent a week trying to get rid of the Trojan virus. Today I get home and Norton AntiVirus tells me that I have 8 viruses. They are: rep.exew32 Randex; ysbAgree.exeW32.Yimper;  1004270.exedownload.adware & exeW32.sillyIM. Several of them are duplicates. I do not know where to begin. HELP!!!! Any idea why I am experiencing all of these virus and threats all of a sudden?

    You can try downloading McAfee's Stinger application to run on your system and scan to remove these nasties.  You can download it from:

    http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/stng259.exe

    When you open the program, make sure you select the box for "All Files" as well as "Delete" for the action.  You might also try downloading Microsoft's antiSpyware application (still in beta but works good) as it scans your system constantly and may help to keep some of these from coming back.  You can download it from:

    Stinger will NOT remove those viruses.
    Please check the official Stinger web page for information about which viruses (less than 60) are detected and removed.

    I have not been able to find these viruses names any where.  Can someone please offer some assistance as to where I can find a removal tool to rid myself of this frustration. Nothing is working and I can't find anything relating to these particular viruses on Norton. HELP!!!
